## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is inviting tenders for a tree maintenance framework agreement spanning from 2026 to 2030, focused on providing horticultural services primarily in the UKG37 region, covering highways, parks, and open spaces. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, and it is being conducted via an open procedure. Interested parties must submit their proposals through the Sandwell MBC In-tend Supplier Portal by 7 August 2026 at 15:00 hrs. The framework aims to appoint three experienced contractors to handle various maintenance tasks under the supervision of the Council's Urban Forestry Unit. The estimated contract value is £2,880,000 gross (£2,400,000 net).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in horticultural services, particularly those experienced in tree maintenance and management. Firms capable of offering quality services at competitive prices have a fair chance of securing a place on this framework. The contract provides a stable, long-term opportunity to engage with public land maintenance, making it an attractive prospect for companies looking to expand their portfolios and establish strong partnerships with a local government body. The use of both direct call-offs and mini-competitions implies a dynamic selection process that could benefit agile and flexible businesses.
